Thanks Rex! How is testing for 4.8.0/f16? Haven't heard much
yet.
Wondering whether to risk my primary laptop.
I have been using it here since last night and all is working very well. As
usual a painless update (from 4.7.97)
It is running on my main machine (x86_64) so it is getting heavily tested :-)
Thanks to all involved..
